Heck, her career checks so many woke boxes it\u2019s like she was created in a lab for just such a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>So where are the Hollywood feminists following her disgraceful erasure from both Disney+\u2019s \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d and the United Talent Agency (UTA), over allegedly unacceptable social media posts?<\/p>\n<p>Amy Schumer? Sarah Silverman? Scarlett Johansson? Chloe Grace Moretz? Jane Fonda? Chelsea Handler? The Women\u2019s March, for that matter?<\/p>\n<p>Has any actress, proudly feminist or otherwise, rallied to Carano\u2019s side? If not now \u2026 when?<\/p>\n<p>Carano shattered the MMA\u2019s glass ceiling by making female fighters more than a sideshow. Her short but potent MMA career made that possible, capped by her 2009 battle with Cris Cyborg. Carano lost that fight, but the battle made history anyway. It was the first time a female match served as a major MMA attraction\u2019s main event.<\/p>\n<p>Carano, nicknamed \u201cConviction,\u201d compiled an impressive record en route to that fight. She still bravely left the sport behind to pursue an acting career.<\/p>\n<p>Many athletes attempt a similar career switch. And for every Dwayne Johnson or Dave Bautista, there are dozens who flame out in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Think Brian Bosworth, Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O\u2019Neal, and Orenthal James Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>Not Carano.<\/p>\n<p>She nailed a major role in a Steven Soderbergh film, 2011\u2019s \u201cHaywire,\u201d and never looked back, leveraging her pugilistic skills on one movie set after the other. She bounced from strong supporting turns to leading lady gigs where she was the center of attention.<\/p>\n<p>On screen, Carano captured everything the woke Left wants in an actress. Her characters routinely kicked butt, saved the day, or otherwise took charge of the scenes in question.<\/p>\n<p>She was a force of nature, beating both male and female villains with her considerable real-world fighting skills.<\/p>\n<p>She could be the poster child for the #MeToo Hollywood revolution. And yet the industry can\u2019t spare a syllable on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>The story gets even more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>UFC president Dana White has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/2\/13\/22280707\/dana-white-weighs-in-on-gina-carano-controversy-leave-gina-alone\">checkered past with Carano<\/a>. He once called the former fighter \u201cthe hardest human being we\u2019ve ever dealt with,\u201d from a negotiation point of view. White had hoped to pair Carano against fellow superstar Ronda Rousey in 2014. That battle never happened, and White clearly regrets it.<\/p>\n<p>Their history is even more complicated, with the kind of twist that would, and should, send feminists scrambling to Carano\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>Carano claims White sent her \u201cprofane\u201d text messages at one point, something that factored into her decision to turn down any UFC entreaties.<\/p>\n<p>White still rallied to Carano\u2019s side this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeave Gina alone,\u201d White said. \u201cListen, we make mistakes. We all make mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If White can speak up on the star\u2019s behalf, why can\u2019t actresses who claim to support women do the same?<\/p>\n<p>Hilaria Baldwin has received more support from celebrities than Carano has so far.<\/p>\n<p>Alec Baldwin\u2019s wife famously pretended to have deep Spanish cultural roots while soaking up fame on Instagram and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>It was a well-orchestrated lie, one she manicured over the years, but finally fell apart late last year. She literally appropriated another culture, an absolute no-no in woke circles, and yet Hollywood hasn\u2019t attacked her in any fashion (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/hilaria-baldwin-cultural-appropriation-con-media\/\">the press covered for her, too<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The late night comics couldn\u2019t find the funny in her story, either.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, three female stars attempted to do damage control on Baldwin\u2019s behalf. Amy Schumer apologized for inadvertently stirring up HilariaGate in the first place. Schumer poked fun at Hilaria Baldwin on social media, and when Baldwin fired back, some noticed the lack of a Spanish accent.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Schumer called Hilaria Baldwin \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/01\/27\/entertainment\/amy-schumer-hilaria-baldwin-controversy\/index.html\">amazing<\/a>\u201d and wished her as many visits to Spain as she can muster.<\/p>\n<p>Salma Hayek joined Schumer in <a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/viral\/salma-hayek-defends-hilarie-baldwin\/\">defending her cultural appropriation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are they going after this woman?\u201d Hayek exclaimed. \u201cWhy are they going after this wonderful girl, great mother, wonderful wife? I mean, Alec has never been better. She makes him happy. Why are they going after this woman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharon Stone piled on, making an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2021\/02\/11\/sharon-stone-compared-hilaria-baldwins-spanish-scandal-to-challenges-in-lgbtq-community\/\">odd comparison to Baldwin\u2019s struggles<\/a> with the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hardly a wave of support, but it\u2019s something. And it\u2019s far more than Carano has earned so far from her peers for speaking her mind and having her social media messages grossly distorted by our corrupt press.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
